Reviews and Ratings
I had a cozy stay at this hotel. The rooms, although small, were comfortable and down a bit of a trek. The service was top-notch, with Melinda offering insider tips on local spots. The location was fantastic for exploring Humboldt. The facilities were well-maintained.
I couldn't have asked for a better stay. The rooms were cozy and offered great views of the surroundings, but the breakfast options left something to be desired. The service was top-notch, with knowledgeable and kind staff. The location was like stepping into a peaceful oasis, perfect for a getaway. The facilities were just what I needed to relax and unwind.
My stay at the inn was truly charming and lovely. The rooms were comfortable and clean, with decor that perfectly matched the atmosphere of the inn and its surroundings. However, there were some issues with the room that made it less than ideal. The service was friendly and helpful, and I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast and the entire stay, although the late-night noise was a drawback. The location offered a beautiful terrace with stunning views despite being next to a busy freeway. The dining experience was a real treat, although a bit pricey. Overall, a lovely experience with a few hiccups.
